3. Mintply Services

The simulated trades provide clients with the opportunity to develop their trading skills, improve risk management strategies, and participate in the Mintply Evaluation Process.

These tools are provided for informational purposes only, and Mintply does not guarantee the accuracy or reliability of any information provided.
3.3 Evaluation Process: The core service offered by Mintply is the two-step Evaluation Process, consisting of the Mintply Challenge and the Verification Phase. The goal of this process is to evaluate a client’s trading skills and determine whether they qualify for a Mintply Account.
- Mintply Challenge: The first stage of the Evaluation Process, in which clients trade on a demo account with virtual capital. Clients must meet certain predefined trading objectives, including profit targets and drawdown limits. There is no time limit for completing the Challenge, but a minimum of four trading days is required.
- Verification Phase: After passing the Mintply Challenge, clients progress to the Verification Phase, where consistency and risk management skills are further tested. The trading objectives in this phase are more lenient than in the Challenge, and there is no time limit.
3.4 Mintply Account: Clients who successfully complete both stages of the Evaluation Process will be granted access to a Mintply Account. This account allows clients to trade with fictitious capital under real market conditions, and based on their performance, they may be eligible to receive real monetary rewards.
4. Trading Rules and Risk Management
4.1 Trading Conditions: All trades on the Mintply platform are executed in a simulated environment. Market quotes are provided in real-time, but clients do not trade with actual funds.
